Bates Boots: 1621 Men's Steel Toe 9 Inch USA-Made Combat Boots

Standard military boots are one of the first items issued to American soldiers, and it's not because the government gets a great deal on bulk footwear. It's because solid footwear is essential for any fighting force -- and the men who fight through their tough workdays. It's time to put your feet into a pair of Bates 1621 Men's 9 Inch Steel Toe Military Boots.

These tall, military-style boots are made with black full-grain leather in a 9-inch high design. The solid, lace-up design and glossy black leather creates a traditional military look. The flexible nature of the material makes the design soft and comfortable, too.

The removable footbeds are easy to clean, making odor control much easier. Made with DuraShocks impact-resisting technology, the footbeds provide full-cushion support that comforts feet and softens steps. Cushioned midsoles add another cushioning layer.

It all sits on Vibram extreme rubber outsoles, which have a slip-resisting tread to help you find grip even on wet flooring. Oil-resistance protects the tread from corrosive chemical materials. The steel toes are ASTM F2403-15 rated for impact- and compression-resistance, protecting your feet against dangerous falling hazards.

Bates 1621 Men's 9 Inch Steel Toe Military Boots, assembled in the USA, have been US Navy approved. If the military doesn't know about boots, then who does?

I purchased these as a uniform item in the Navy. I wore them shipboard everyday and they really softened up the impact of steel deckplates. We had to keep a high polish shine and these boots made it easy. There wasnt much in the way of insulation so on the cold north runs I had to double up on socks but for the money these are a solid boot.
